The waves of pleasure that rippled con- stantly strated that Will B. Johnstone, who Wrote the books and Iyrics, evidently Knows what the public wants. Take It From Me" is one of those musical comedies that seek to please over the audience demon- the eye and the tired, over-worked brain. It is particulariy pleasing in both those respects. The costumes are alluring, somewhat dazzling and appear to be new. which is more than can be musical comedy long on the road. There are fifteen songs in the pro- logue and two acts, many of which are fami and. most of them sprightly, with a touch of the senti- ment in them; none, however, ex- celling.

The plot is as old as the average musical comedy plot, but serves to produce convulsive merriment, which it is intended to do.

A dis- honest district attorney who has Tobbed the heroine of $25.000 left by her father. is trapped, and all ends with a happy marriage. The photograph is excellent and all the roles are well played. A funny Torchy story, news pictures and & musical program complete the enter- tainment. “All Dolled Up.” “All Dolled Up,” a peppery romance, with Gladys Walton in the stellar role, was shown at Moore's Garden Theater yesterday. It is a Universal production, and the story deals with Maggie Quick, a shop girl, whose fairy prince comes just in time to save her from an unscrupulous man. The play also gives Washingtonians a chance to see Florence Turner, one of the original stellar lights of the screen, who has not been seen here for several years, in a leading role, in support_of Miss Walton. “All_Dolled Up” was written for Miss Walton by John Colton. The story in_some ways resembles an Arablan Nights extravaganza, the lo- cale shifting rapidly from a_palace to a dingy bedroom, from a big de- partment store to a roadhouse and from the city to the country, all pre- senting many thriiling dramatic ef- fects. N A good program of minor subjects and orchestral features complete the entertainment. “The Greater Claim.” Without “The Skipper's Scheme,” a wholesome Toonerville comedy that keeps the audience in high humor, the program at the Metropolitan this week might be suspected to fall be- low the standard established by that picture house. The Fontaine Fox two- reel production easily is the best of that series yet shown here. The featured picture, “The Greater Claim,"” credited to Izola Forrester and Mann Page and produced Metro, seems a rather weak vehicle for a screen actress of Alice Lake's ability. Mother-love is the theme. but the authors have failed to present it in a form that has not been done to death In countless other pictures. The story deals with a chorus girl, mar- ried by a millionaire’s son in defl- ance of his father, through whose subsequent scheming the husband is shanghaied and the wife made to be- lieve she has been deserted. Then comes the baby, and through it the authors manage to effect the usual reconciliation. Alice Lake makes the best of a poor role, and she is admirably supported by DeWitt Jennings as the husband and little Richard Hedrick. The re- by | , D. C.

In his effort to escape he is driven to the roof of a tenement where he meets a crippled girl. Believing kim to be playing some game. she kid»s him. Afterward he promises to return to See her. The visits continue until finally love creeps in, and love for the girl starts the man on the straight path, and she, as might be suspected, recovers from her infliction. pictare has a pretty title. “The Truth About Husbands.” Crandall's Theater yesterday pre- sented a First National tion, “The Truth About Husbands, version of Sir Arthur Wing, Pinero's stage play, “The Profligate,” for the { first time in the National Capital. It concerns Dunstan Renshaw, a | tashionable bachelor with a large fortune, and Janet Preece, a librarian 1{ving in a suburb, with whom, under an assumed name. he enters into an entangling flirtation, but he later marries Leslie Brownell, a young so- ciety girl, with whom he goes abroad. Janet is engaged as secrctary by a Mrs. Stonehay. whose daughter is an intimate friend of Leslie's, and she is taken abroad with the Stonehay fam- jliy. Irene Stonehay is engaged to Lord Dexter Randolph, an old ac- quaintance of Dunstan's. Dunstan and Lord Randolph visit a notorious cab- aret, but the former takes no part in The “California Hurry mother! A teaspoonful of “California” Syrup of Figs today may prevent a sick child tomorrow.

It should be greater every day. Industry is awakening, On all sides you see the evidences of this. In every news- paper you read of resumption of work. Back to normal! It is a cheering thought.

It keepsgoing on and on —increasing the volume of business. . “Good times” are coming back with the sunshine and the flowers, with the hum- ming of machinery and the song of the whistles.
